2023 Summer Students Italian program at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and at other US Laboratories

The Italian Summer Student program at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) started in 1983 within the rapidly-growing collaboration among the University of Pisa, the National Institute of Nuclear Physics of Italy (INFN) and Fermilab.
In the first year 3 undergraduate physics students from the University of Pisa worked for 3 months at the construction of the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF). In the following almost 40 years, with altogether over 570 physics and engineering students employed in all Fermilab Divisions, the program has become part of the extensive Fermilab educational effort.

The Summer School is oriented for Master Degree students or Master Graduate within 1 year since graduation in Physics, Applied Physics, Medical Physics, Engineering, Computing Science, Chemistry and Materials Science.
Physics students will be trained in the research groups working on Fermilab initiatives (Mu2e, Muon g-2, NOvA, MicroBooNE, LAriAT, ICARUS, SBND, DUNE), or in the Fermilab group which collaborates with the CMS experiment at CERN, or in the theory group. The internships of Engineering, Computing Science, Chemistry and Materials Science students take place in the Fermilab Accelerator Division (AD), in the Techical Division (TD), in the Scientific Computing Division (CD), or in groups involved in technogical and applied research at other laboratories and universities within the US.
Each student is assigned to a supervisor who is responsabile of her/his training program. After a month of stay, students must give a mid-term oral presentation to show adequate progress of their research program. A final oral presentation and a detailed written report must be presented at the conclusion of the program. In some cases of mutual interest, the 9-week internship can be extendedby by several months to allow students to complete a Master Degree Thesis. Since 2010 Fermilab keeps an online record of the summer students’ training programs.
